[quote=flu][quote=squat300]Things can bring tension.
You get a BMW, it needs more maintenance, you gotta insure it, etc etc.
My wife says this speculation is stupid and I should focus on making her happy now.[/quote]
The first 4 years, maintenance is free (less than an accord)… The trick is to ditch it after 4 years…And do it the good old american way… You don’t need to pay cash for it, you just need to take out a lease and make minimum payments…
And if you run your own business, you can write off a portion of it probably too.
See, you can eat your cake and have it too…Sort of…

Just to clarify….are you talking about the wife or the BMW? Because I leased my first one very short term. Wasn’t a total failure, just didn’t last too long. Next one I purchased outright and kept until it was fully depreciated. Got decent milage, but it cost me a ton of money to get rid of at the end.
